Everyone asked for the recipe after I served it at my grandmother’s 90th birthday celebration. Use a drink mix of any flavor. A different approach is to freeze the punch the night before and serve it one hour before the occasion.

It was super easy to make, but no one drank it more than 1x! It was a 90° hot day. I used Cherry koolaide flavor packets. It was bitter tasting using the ginger ale . Also tried it with sprite and it wasn’t any better.
I made this punch for a get together and everyone loved it. The only change I made was to use only half cup sugar which was plenty. Great recipe and very easy. Will definitely make again!
I made this for a small New Year’s Eve party and it was a huge hit. I didn’t need quite the full recipe, so I used 3 pkgs strawberry Kool-Aid, (1) 46 oz can pineapple juice, a little over 2 liters of diet ginger ale, and approx 1 3/4 cup sugar. Added just a little water, didn’t measure it. It was refreshing and delicious.
This is one of My Grandmother”s punch recipes she use to make . And my Favorite! The only difference was she would Half the batch to freeze a ring of the punch then add it. And then the Ginger ale right before serving.
I don’t much care for fruit punch, but made this for a beverage at a Taco Bar buffet. It was delicious. Believe it or not, I made it exactly following the recipe!. Everyone who tried it liked it. This makes a LOT of punch. I will make this again.
Super delicious! Didn’t change anything. Everyone loved it for our girl’s night out – they couldn’t get enough! Not a drop left! Definitely a keeper for next time.
Great base! Definitely benefits from the juice of a couple fresh lemons and a bit more carbonation.
added juice from mandarin oranges and seltzer water. very good. my brother is asking for more.
I’ve made this a few times. It’s always a hit during the holiday season. As a few others noted, I recommend cutting back on the sugar some unless you want it to be super sweet.
My family really enjoyed this punch. I did change some things to make it more diabetic friendly and I also halved it. I used 2 packets of sugar free strawberry drink mix, 1 liter diet ginger ale, 1 qt water and 1 can pineapple juice to make 1 gallon. Very good, even with it being sugar free, it didn’t taste like a diet drink.
I was not very impressed by this punch. I followed exactly (other than using less sugar as other reviewers suggested) and I still thought it was very sweet. Believe me, I’ve got a sweet tooth! Made it for a party with all ages in attendance, and it was the least used drink available. Don’t think I’ll be making this one again.
Yes and it is the bom!!!
With a few twists this punch was a huge success!!! I couldn’t find the Kool-Aid that it called for so I used kiwi-strawberry instead. Also, since it was a hot day we added frozen berries and mango to help keep it cold. Everyone loved it.
I made this for a special dinner party I made for my family. It was a Valentines party and we gave it a fun name that fit the theme but everyone liked it so well they wanted the recipe as well as requested it for the next dinner party too.
I made this a couple times and it goes way to quick!!
Served at a children’s Christmas party was A hot
kids and adults loved it!
This was really tasty. just remember the solid ingredients settle at the bottom of the container if you don’t drink it quickly enough so you will have to keep stirring.
I made this punch for my daughter’s first birthday party, everyone loved it! I will definitely make this again, very easy and really good.
This punch is good. Quick and easy. It’s pretty sweet but everyone I ever serve it to can’t stop drinking it. I usually scoop sherbet on top for looks and froth.
Made this punch for a bridal shower. The guest loved it!
